Dedication of Talkington Exhibit is Friday at LCSC
The Office of Community Programs at Lewis-Clark State College is sponsoring formal dedication ceremonies for its H.L. Talkington Exhibit in the LCSC Student Union Building on Friday October 12 at 1:30 p.m.
The exhibit was designed and installed by national-award winning historian Mary Reed of Pullman, who will be on hand to speak briefly and greet the public, along with LCSC President J. Anthony Fernandez, Provost Carmen Simone, Dean of Community Programs and Governmental Relations Kathy Martin, and others. Reed will just have returned from Salt Lake City where she received a Leadership in History Award from the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH). The AASLH Leadership in History Awards program, now in its 67th year, is the most prestigious national recognition for achievement in the preservation and interpretation of state and local history.
"(Professor Henry Talkington) is really the legacy of the campus," Reed said in an interview for the Lewiston Tribune last month. She also noted the challenge in creating a visual tribute to a man who left behind only four photographs of himself. Reed has installed two exhibits devoted to Talkington on the campus, the most recent on October 1 in the foyer of the Student Union Building. The other was installed last spring in Talkington Hall, the dormitory named after Talkington in 1939.
The dedication of the newest exhibit in the Student Union Building will feature a 30-minute talk titled "The Last Sacrifice of a Brother's Keeper" by Lewiston historian Steven Branting, which focuses on a key event in the life of the college's most revered professor.
